## The quick answer

The reported Ujjain Simhastha planning window is 27 March–27 May 2028, with Shahi Snan dates of 9 April, 23 April and 8 May. These remain provisional on this website: our 8 September 2026 source check did not locate the final authoritative programme. Use the calendar for planning and reconfirm before booking.

## The current source status

A Government of Madhya Pradesh publisher, MPSeDC, lists a Ujjain Simhastha 2028 app. That supports the event’s year and identifies an official information channel; the public app listing alone does not let us validate every proposed bathing date. Our research did not establish a final dated government order with the complete schedule.

This is a statement about what we could verify, not a claim that no authority has announced dates elsewhere. We will change a date’s status only when we can link to the underlying source.

## Why dates online need a source check

A 27 March–27 May 2028 window and specific bathing dates appear on third-party travel websites. Repetition across those pages does not make them independently confirmed. Some pages also use inconsistent lunar-date labels. Our event calendar uses these reported dates only as clearly labelled provisional planning aids. Its countdowns run to midnight IST on the planning date, not to a verified ritual time.

If you are comparing a package, ask the seller for the government or mela-administration notice supporting its dates. Record the notice date and issuing authority, and check whether it is a planning proposal or a final programme. A commercial itinerary is a different document.

## How to verify a date before booking

1. Start with the Ujjain district website and announcements, then consult the official state-published Simhastha app.
2. Find the original notice. Check the issuing authority, publication date, year, location and whether a revision supersedes it.
3. Confirm the particular ritual you intend to attend. Festival duration and ceremonial bathing times are different pieces of information.
4. Check travel restrictions separately. A confirmed ritual date does not guarantee access by car or a particular entry route.
5. Keep a copy of the notice with your travel records and recheck it before departure.

## What you can sensibly plan now

You can research travel options, compare neighbourhoods, decide your group’s budget and ask accommodation providers about their cancellation terms. Prefer arrangements that explain what happens if dates or access rules change. Avoid paying a large non-refundable amount only because a webpage says availability is running out.

Our next update should follow a verifiable source change. The review date on this page records the research check; it is not an automated claim of live monitoring.

## Common questions

### Can I use this calendar to make non-refundable bookings?

A planning calendar is not a booking guarantee. First trace your chosen date to the final authority’s programme, then check the provider’s cancellation and schedule-change terms.

### Does the countdown show the start of the Shahi Snan?

No. It counts to midnight in India on the reported date. The ritual time, akhara sequence and public bathing access require separate official instructions.

### Where should I check for an official update?

Start with the Ujjain district administration and the state-published Simhastha app. Check the notice’s issuer, publication date and whether a later revision replaces it.
